Default Keep front window from fogging up?

I don't get it guys, I have never had issues with any front window like I do with this truck. I can wipe the windows clean with windex, water/vinegar, special cloths, wipes etc and it is always gleaming clean and streak free. After a few days though the front window fogs up easily and you can see streaks everywhere! Looking for tips! Thanks!

Thought it was just me too - I feel like my system is always on defrost just to keep the windshield clear

I have no problems like that.It sounds like maybe heater core leak check your antifreeze level.

Since I've kept my climate controls on AUTO and kept the A/C and recirculate on all the time I haven't had as many problems with it fogging up. It'll start to fog up at first but within the time it takes for the engine to warm up the fogging will be gone.

Mine seams the same also. But I quite smoking 3 yrs ago and started vaping. I just thought that was the problem. Also my last KR had auto and did a good job with the windows not fogging up but this one I have to put it on defrost. Then my other gripe is a $65,000 and not heated mirrors. They fog up all the time.

If your KR has folding mirrors or BLIS it has heated mirrors. If you click your rear defrost it also turns on the heated mirrors.

If your using the defrost and its still happening there is a good chance its the heater core. Do any of you guys smell anti freeze? The new GM trucks had this problem in 2014 as well. Usually vehicle manufacturers will throw a tablet of a stop leak in their new vehicles as part of the manufacturing process.
